Event Purpose
In August of this year, Typhoon Utor struck Shaoguan's Xinfeng County, causing severe flooding that damaged roads and resulted in casualties. Our association is committed to promoting youth engagement in society, caring for the underprivileged, and valuing life. Through this caring visit to a remote area of Guangdong, we aim to bring warmth and blessings to local residents in need. This initiative also serves to help Macau youth understand society, care for others, learn contentment, unite the strength of Macau's volunteer service teams, and enhance young people's enthusiasm for participating in social affairs and serving the community.
